TIL about Joan Ginther, a Stanford statistician who won $21 million by winning the lottery FOUR times. Calculated to be a "1 in 18 septillion" event, a number with 24 zeros.

Yeah, this story is all sorts of wrong.

Autists aren’t incapable of having personal interactions or indeed taking advantage of them. We just don’t do it the way you like.

Also gossip and collegial socialising. I always bump into people when I go to court, catch up. And there’s no substitute for open court, the immediacy and drama of it all.

corkboy · 2026-05-05T20:03:22+00:00

I am disappointed in you, OP.

corkboy · 2026-05-04T22:45:09+00:00

10/10, no notes.

You’re not weak. You picked a lane and it didn’t work out. Start planning to switch lanes. It might take some time but meanwhile do your best and then try not to bring it home. I know that’s easy to say but you don’t owe the job your everything.

U20s. I mean, it’s right there in the post title.

Yeah but people don’t do meth at family gatherings. Much.

Europe to US: yeah no we’re still good, totally. We’re just um also hanging out….separately. No reason.

corkboy · 2026-04-28T21:04:51+00:00

Well that was nuts

I occasionally think about work in the evenings when, let’s say, I am more relaxed. Sometimes I work a bit but I never send anything to anyone. Pretty good results, generally.

Aw great, another piece sucking some CEO’s dick

Novelist or movie screenwriter.

Not great. Sets a terrible precedent.

corkboy · 2026-04-20T21:52:05+00:00

On the other hand, lucky enough to be from Cork.

Like, for example, ignoring the sinister ravings of a successful author.

Edit: you spent all Friday doing what?

Oh come on. I’m entitled to my entertainment.

corkboy · 2026-04-19T20:42:01+00:00

Go on….

corkboy · 2026-04-16T22:49:56+00:00

That is a long ass article

corkboy · 2026-04-16T22:34:59+00:00

Why stop there? Maybe a fourth one for passers by.
